. have a parallel relationship but are located of the clamps, while its free end extends over f in varying planes with respect to the horilzontal, that is to say one of the bars or rods is located in superposed relation to the other for a purpose later evidenced.

As depicted in Fig. l, of the drawings,.

the corner members are arranged to define a rectangular outline, the bars 0r. rods 3 and Il connected to the respective members,

--being alined with one another and connected by means o f clamps which latter include a plate 5 having enlargements 6 and 7'Which enlargements are apertured at 9, l0, the

apertures 9 alining with each other and the apertures 10 similarly alining with each other, so that the rods bland 4, may be passed through the apertures vand connected to lthe plate by means of set lscrews 11 and 12.

As shown in.Fi'gs..2 and 3 of the drawings, the bar or rod 3' of the left hand corner member 2 passes through the apertures 9, 9,

the adjacent side Off'ihev corner member to 'the right of Fig. 3,"''and the bar or rod 4,

which is connected to the corner-member to the right of Fig. 3,'extends over the side of 4the corner member to the left vot Fig. 3 which side bears the rod 3. It Will-thus be vseen that since the' rods or bars, with the comer members and clamps are related as abovedescribedat each of the two ends of lthe device, that the rods or bars extend in opposite directions, and thatto increase or decrease the size of thejogger it is simply necessary to release the setscrews 11 and 12 and then to slidethe ba rs"i n vvardly or out-f" Wardly according to the adjustment desired and to then again tighten the set screws to hold the vparts locked and against relative movement,

In vthe form of the invention Aabove described, it will be seen that in adjusting the joggerv to small size sheets, that the rods or bars, a'sshown. in Fgig. l, pass one another andproject outwardlyfrom the corners, and 1n' somecasesthis 1s, objectionable. Therefore to overcomethis objection, and to also v enable bars or rods of-varying diametersmr cross-sections to be employed, the formfiof corner member depicted-inl Fig. Slis mployed in which same is provided with lugs 13 and 14, apertured at -9 and 10" respec' tively, and' having. set screvvs- 15 and 16 whereby the rods or bars may bel detachably secured to the corner member 'and removed or adjusted itl desired by manipulation of the set screws 15 and 16, as vvill be obvious.

Stop screws 17 are employed, if desired and secured to the free ends vof the bars or rods so as to limit the sliding movements of the bars or rods with respect to the clamps so as to thus insure against 'accidental dsengagement of the parts, and to always maintain all of the related parts in assem- ,l

bled condition, preventing same'from being scattered about the shop with the consequent loss of time in hunting same up When the jogger is desired for use.v

If desired scales may be placed upon the sides vof the bars or rods to assist in adjust ment thereof to the size of the printed sheets.A

`- What is claimed is 1. In a printrs sheet receptacle, a series of corner members of L-shape, a pair of bars lconnected to each corner'member and -dlsposed one on each side thereof and extending at right angles to one another, and arranged to pass beyond thev adjacent corner member, said bars being disposed in planes parallel to each other' and in vertical spaced relation, and clamping means for engagement with free' ends portions of the bars of adjacent members to rigidly clamp the bars together. 1

2. In aprinters sheet receptacle, corner members', a 'pair of bars connected to each member and disposed on thev sides of the member so as to have a right angular'relav tionship and arranged to pass beyond the adjacent corner member, said bars being disposed in planes parallel to each other and in've'rtical spaced relation, and means for jacent bars of adjacent members.

3. .In a printers sheet receptacle, corner members, adapted to be contracted and eX- Danded relatively'to each other, rods borne by said 'members and arranged so that the rods of adjacent members Will be capable of passing one another and the opposed members when the members are'contracted. and.

means to connect the adjacent ends of adjacent rods, said-means being independently connected to the rods.

" 4., In a printers sheet receptacle` a series -ofcorner members, separable coperatingi clamping means to adjustably connect said members, said means forming side landv end portions which coperate with the members to form sides and end Walls ,for the lreceptacle. l

5. In a-printersY sheet receptacle, a series of corner members, oppositely extending rods connected tothe corner. members, and

`adjjustably and rigidly connecting the adils means formingside and end walls for the receptacle to adjustably connect the rods.

A6. In a printers sheet receptacle, a series oi corner members, rods'fremovblv and slidably connected' to. each of the sides'of rsa the corner members, means to restrict the eX- tent of sliding of the rods, and means to adjustallily connect the rods to one another' to permit the free end of .each bar to pass the adjacent corner member when they are contracted.

i'. ,in a printers sheet receptacle, corner members, a rod connected to each side of eacli member and arranged in planes that are in spaced -parallel relation wherebyY the rodsniajY be arranged in overlapping relation and be moved past4 the opposed mem` ber when the members are contracted, and clamps connecting the tree ends of adjacent rods.

In a printers sheet receptacle, four corner members, a pair of rods secured to the outer side faces ot' the respective sides of each member, the adjacent rods of adjacent members extending in opposite directions and in overlapping relation, and being spaced -vertically in relation to each other and to the bof-,toms of Said members, and' means to adjustably connect the rods.

9. In a printers sheet receptacle, four A25 spaced corner members, rods on each member, the adjacent rods of adjacent`-`members extending toward each other and being spaced vertically in' relation to een other and to the bottoms of said members, and 30r means connecting adjacent rods and located centrally of the space between the adjacent corner members.

l0. In a printers sheet receptacle, a series of corner members, a rod connected to each 35 JOSEPH F. JIRoUsEK. Vitnesses B. F. CORDAY, H. D. JOHNSON
